Add bowls at home, these 3 kinds of bowls are best avoided and purchased, not superstition, and some at home should be used as little as possible.
In our daily lives, bowls are used every day as containers for food. However, when we are shopping for a new bowl, not all bowls are worth buying. As a reminder, there are three types of bowls that need to be purchased with special care, even if they are given away for free. Next, I will analyze these types of bowls for you in detail to help you choose more wisely when choosing bowls.
1. Cheap plastic bowls, but they usually contain chemicals that are harmful to the human body. Long-term use of plastic bowls may cause these harmful substances to leach into the food, which can affect health. Moreover, the heat resistance of plastic bowls is poor, and it is easy to deform or release harmful substances at high temperatures.
2. Stainless steel bowls, the quality of stainless steel bowls is uneven, and low-quality stainless steel bowls may contain impurities that are harmful to the human body. But in some cases, they may react with acids in food to form substances that are not good for human health.
3. Overglaze colored ceramic bowl, the surface of the overglaze colored ceramic bowl is coated with a layer of glaze, and various patterns are drawn on it. Although aesthetically pleasing, these glazes may contain heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, and more. In the case of prolonged use or improper cleaning, these heavy metals have the potential to leach out and enter the human body, posing a potential threat to health.
When buying a bowl, we also need to pay attention to a few small details.
1. We want to pay attention to the internal quality of the bowl. When shopping for a bowl, be sure to double-check the bowl for raised sand or other impurities. These defects are often caused by poor control during the firing process, which leads to the mixing of impurities. A bowl containing impurities not only affects the aesthetics, but more importantly, it may cause damage to the mouth or hands during use. Therefore, when encountering such a bowl, we should decisively abandon the purchase.
2. The treatment of the bottom of the bowl is also an important factor affecting the quality of the bowl. Some fashionable bowls that are popular on the market now, in order to pursue a unique appearance design, will remove the bowl mud at the bottom to make the bottom of the bowl smooth. However, this practice invisibly reduces the thermal insulation performance of the bowl.
When we serve hot soup or hot dishes, such bowls can easily conduct heat to our hands, causing burns. Therefore, when choosing a bowl, we should try to choose a style with bowl mud at the bottom to ensure the safety of use.
3. The pattern on the bowl is also a detail that we need to pay attention to. Usually, the pattern will be printed on the outside of the bowl, but some bowls will also be printed on the inside. For the pattern inside, we need to be especially careful. Because if the pattern is raised, then it is easy to rub against the food during use, causing the pattern to fall off or mix into the food. This not only affects the aesthetics of the bowl, but can also pose a potential threat to human health. Therefore, when choosing a bowl, we should choose those styles that are completely flush with the surface of the bowl and do not have any unevenness.
When buying a new bowl, as long as we pay attention to the internal quality of the bowl, check the treatment of the bottom of the bowl, and choose the appropriate pattern design, we will be able to choose a high-quality bowl that is comfortable to use. These tips can help us avoid buying low-quality bowls. Hopefully, these suggestions will be helpful to you and make us more comfortable when choosing bowls.
